Joe the Plumber is an everyman insofar as I've talked to people exactly like Joe the Plumber on numerous occasions when I'm sitting at the bar. I strike up conversations, and they are all too happy to shift the conversation into fields of their particular interest (though not expertise), regardless of the irrelevance.
"Queen's an alright band. But I ain't gonna like a band when the one guy was a fag."
"Okay, but I mean, the songs aren't gay. I mean, all the songs about sex are about women."
"Fags piss me off. Do you know that there's schools in California where they teach kids how to be fags?"
"See, I really don't think that's true. Do you actually think that kids are required to take classes where they learn how to have gay sex?"
"It's fucking true. They're trying to fag up the country."

Then I have to go find a new place to drink away from this idiot.

I hate Joe the Plumber.

"I've never opposed paying taxes"
You know, except for when he didn't pay his taxes. As a tax cheat. Other than that, he's in favor of it.

sosage
...or paying taxes when a democrat says, "Hey guys. Let's pay our taxes."

If there is one way this guy is like every one of us, it's that we don't like being proven wrong in public and will stick to our guns to the bitter...retarded...end.

Eagerly awaiting the Joe the Plumber porn spoof.

JO the plumber.

It's gay porn, of course.

Be thankful that at the very least those interviews often times go along these lines. Just a few years ago Fox would have been throwing him the softest of softballs and/or offering to fellate him.

Palin\Joe the Plumber 2012!!!

SolRo
The important question is, would he be getting screwed by an old man, or screwing the old man?

I think zatojones just described JO The Plumber.

dead_cat
Jo would be the screwee, if for no other reason than the old man could run circles around him mentally and would trick him into it.

Hell, that could be a major plotpoint:
"Old guy tricks virile, aggressive young moron into being his sex monkey. Oh, and fixing his toilet for free."

I got the promo right here:

"Watch as this naughty old man plumbs the depths like you won't believe! He's got over 30 years experience laying the pipe, if you know what we mean, and now, he's just looking to let off some steam after a hard day's work..."

Or the video game, where the characters name is Kratos.
(and he isn't fat)

And I meant Cronos the Titan who ate a stone thinking it was his son Zeus. (Tangent over)

Doesn't want to pay more and doesn't want a tax break.

Bailouts and tax cuts for the rich are fine, but tax cuts for the middle class are socialist.

Joe and Palin are highly appropriate symbols for the current Republican Party and how it got where it is.

2012 - Palin runs for President. Her VP choice is Joe the Plumber. Make it happen, GOP*

*- unless they're popular enough to win, in which case don't make it happen.

Pillager
Duh, we payed into it. We used it we didn't abuse it. Um. Socialism. I read it in a dictionary last time I was on T.V. Marxism. How many other democratic presidents caused tornadoes? Hmm? You gotta go into the history of tornado relief.

BillFisto
Pretty good, but you forgot to refer to him as "man" a couple times.

Pillager
I was overcome by the stupid waves emanating from his plumber-ness.

takewithfood
His middle name is Joe and it's likely (and apparent) that he goes by Joe socially. Not that I care, I'm just tired of hearing the same false talking point. The rest is plenty enough to damn him.

Udderdude
Palin/Joe '12.

Sadly, they probably just think Alan Colmes is part of the media who was "unfair" and "sexist" to Palin.
